Suggest Home Remedy For Painful, Bleeding Puss Filled Gums

When I wake up in the morning my mouth feels really grimy. I can softly brush and my gums bleed terribly. I floss at least once a day but I can barely press on my gums and pus and blood immediately comes out :/ my question is : is there anything I can try that is a legit home remedy to cure this ?

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern....

As per your complain it seems that you have bacterial infection in gums as a result of poor oral hygiene and infection leads to pus formation as well as inflammation and inflammation leads to bleeding from gums on slight stimulation..
When the infection is so severe that a slight stimulation leads to pus and blood discharge any homely remedy will not work well as until you are treated by the dentist for removing the infection manually as well as medication like antibiotics to reduce the bacterial count is not given the infection will not subside as well as the infection will keep progressing and once it reaches the bone there can be loosening of teeth as well as teeth may even fall..

You should not delay and consult a dentist and get evaluated and the dentist can do a full mouth Scaling and advise you to take antibiotics [augmentin and metronidazole] for ten days along with antimicrobial ointments for oral use like Hexigel and a Gumpaint..
Take a Vitamin C tablet daily..
Always gargle with water first and then with a concentrated solution of antimicrobial mouthwash after taking food..
Use an ultra soft toothbrush for brushing teeth..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
